1Of David.
I thank you, Lord, with all my heart;
in the presence of the angels to you I sing.
2I bow low toward your holy temple;
I praise your name for your mercy and faithfulness.
For you have exalted over all
your name and your promise.
3On the day I cried out, you answered;
you strengthened my spirit.
4All the kings of earth will praise you, Lord ,
when they hear the words of your mouth.
5They will sing of the ways of the Lord :
“How great is the glory of the Lord !”
6The Lord is on high, but cares for the lowly[#Lk 1:51–52.]
and knows the proud from afar.
7Though I walk in the midst of dangers,
you guard my life when my enemies rage.
You stretch out your hand;
your right hand saves me.
8The Lord is with me to the end.
Lord , your mercy endures forever.
Never forsake the work of your hands!
